I run a ground wire from Batt inside to the dash ground juction box(metal box looking thing bolted to back side of dash to the left of the radio,it has the key buzzer/wiper delay mounted to it and a stock ground wire from the harness.)
pull your cluster and check to see if any bulbs are blown. mine were dim till I replaced 4 blown bulbs.
on a side not..if you pull the cluster, un-do the speedo cable from the trans so you can pull the cluster out with the cable hooked up,then unhook it, reverse to install.
I have broke a few cable locks at the cluster because it is very short and hard to reach with big paws.
